as someone living in mount royals rez right now I can tell you it will either be one of the best experiences of your life or will completely hate it. I have been in rez for a 1.5 years now and I had the time of my life. That being said I am also moving out pretty much right away because I have just gotten sick of it. The main problem with it is first of all your room-mates are a crap shoot, personally I have been very lucky and liked all of mine, and am now moving out with one of them. Secondly it is almost like a soap opera at times in there, with one person sleeping with another, and then someone else hates someone else, basically it never ends. The final thing that I will say is that about 90% of the people are under 20. Personally I am 22 and just sick and tired of putting up with people who are now able to drink for the first time(most people are from BC so this is literally the first time they can drink) To sum this up I have made some of my best friends to date in rez and I would never want to give up the past 1.5 years for anything, but defiantly think long and hard about it. I would say go for it if you are 20 or under and if you have an out-going personality as it will be one of the best experiences of your life. If not look into the surrounding area, the place I am now getting is a total of $900 a month including everything(cable, internet, heat...) and that will be split between my friend and I so I only pay $450 a month now.
